Sian, Apr. 2.
ANOTHER foreign mission property was bombed in Sian today, when the meeting hall of the English Baptist Mission was destroyed during a raid, in whi ich seven planes dropped more than 50 bombs in the heart of the city.
Two of the bombs were of the incendiary type, and they started fires which were only extinguished with difficulty.
Casualties totalled six killed and nine wounded. The low number of casualties may be attributed to the fact that the populace is now in the habit of leaving the city during the early part of the day.
The Drum Tower, which is a prominent landmark, was also hit, while the offices of the local daily newspaper were destroyed. The business quarter suffered much material damage.—Reuter.
